Guild Wars 2

Hang on, I realize I’m new here but…

Wintersday: Updated some Wintersday-specific crafting recipes that required an incorrect number of components.

Everyone was booted off the server and had their game play interrupted at prime US times for THAT? Seriously???

I Don’t know, but my Mesmer can no longer load up the game, all my other toons can be loaded though…

Same here, the character I was playing in Caledon Forest will not load in. Other will elsewhere.

idk but the patch notes say they corrected the number of items required for certain recipes. The only recipe I got from this so far from this event was a Giver’s Mithril Imbued Inscription and I guess they just made me unlearn it because I can no longer make it.

No it was an exploit that allowed people to make stacks of ectos with little effort. It’s why ectos dropped almost 30% in price. They’re going back up now.

I’d say, good job anet for fixing important stuff like that

At least it was a warning.. a patch and restart.

Unlike other MMOs where they shutdown the servers for at least an hour and you get to look at a log in screen saying you “can not connect to the login server at this time please try again in a few minutes”

It was down for a whole minute to update your game? What a bother.

Considering it was a potential market-breaking exploit. Yes, the game had to restart for that.

Seriously.

Get a grip on yourself, OP.

Yeah it needed to be addressed asap

For the people that buy gems, yes it was a big deal. But for the people that farm everything, probably not so much. But it’s nice to see them fixing stuff.

Actually Anet already disabled the recipes – attempting to make them apparently resulted in an error post-disable; they merely altered them in the patch to make them accessible again.

Atleast they didn’t take down game for 5 hours just to add some new item mall item

…. oh wait wrong game…

It just shows how pedantic they (ANet) are about their precious TP.

I think the PvE’rs don’t understand the significance of restarts in the middle of prime time with no warning. Server restart destroys siege golems in WvW. I suspect each server loses 1-30g in golems every time they patch without a warning. From the entire server base… probably around 200g lost in total every server reset.

Granted that money was already gone from the economy… it’s really frustrating losing 15g to fix something that is already disabled.

this is for sure, since till now. not event 1 event is running perfect. there have to be a patch here and there. jesus… seriously this is the 1st mmo i ever seen TOO many patches. no wonder many people called this game Guild Bugs 2

It was a big deal. People could craft exotic wintersday things for cheap, then salvage them for ectos and make an instant profit. Had the potential to seriously break the economy.

While I agree that Anet is very concerned about the how the game economy interacts with the cash shop, the word ‘pedantic’ does not mean anything resembling the way you’re using it here.

The irony is that me pointing that out is being pedantic.
